Two spoonfuls of WT#!
Dr. Mike definitely needs his own series and movie!
you could combine this with Nocturnal (did you collaborate with Sigler on this one?)
@TiaMija: Thanks so much! I had a great time writing in this genre, as I’m a fan of it. And yes … I’d love to write more Dr. Mike stories like this. It’s a fun setting, and he’s a great character.
@RangerWez: I think Nocturnal took place in San Fran; this story is based in L.A. Trust me: If Sigler and I ever collaborate, the world would know.
